Studying at Queen’s University

1.   When do I receive my acceptance letter?

Upon receipt of your application and full tuition and UHIP fees, we will send out an official “Letter of Acceptance.” Usually, courier mail will take 3 to 4 business days (additional fee will apply), regular mail will take approximately 2 weeks.

2.   If I take the 12-week EAP program at QSoE, do I still have to write an English proficiency test to apply to Queen’s University?

An English language test score may not be required for an undergraduate program at Queen’s if you achieve a minimum of 80 percent at the ESLA 140 - Advanced level or a minimum of 75 percent at the ESLA 150 - University Preparation level. If you are interested in applying to a graduate program, you are required to have at least 80 percent in either ESLA 140 – Advanced or ESLA 150 – University Preparation. For more information, visit the English Proficiency Exam Waiver page. 

3.   Will your program help prepare me for an undergraduate program at Queen’s University or another Canadian institution?

The 12-week EAP program is designed to prepare students to study at an English-speaking university by improving reading, writing, listening and speaking skills. You will learn to write essays, conduct proper research and develop your study skills, all of which are necessary to study in a Canadian university.

4.   Can I observe Queen's University classes?

Sometimes it is possible to audit various Queen’s University classes. However, in order to do so, you must obtain permission from the professor or department and inquire whether there is an auditing fee.

5.   Can I get a conditional letter of acceptance into Queen’s University?

Attending our EAP program does not guarantee acceptance into an undergraduate/graduate program at Queen’s University. Students will have to apply to Queen’s University separately. For information about the English proficiency exam waiver, click here.
